The Northland Tackle Gum Ball Floater is one of the most used and most effective piece of tackle in my box. It a size 2 Lazer Sharp Hook with a foam body making it float. It is excellent when put below weight on a 12-24" leader and tipped it a worm or a minnow. Another great way to use it, as a Carolina rig with a soft plastic trailer, grubs working best. I use the floater in everything from creeks, streams and lakes. This hook/lure is often over looked but has proven to me time and time again how deadly of a tool it is. And its very very budget friendly. Highlight Fish caught on a Gum Ball Floater!
